Locomotives Which Seem TO Think and

ayes, sir, am a locomotive engineer.
and have been for something like twenty
five years." said we'll known Detroit
locomotive engineer last evening. "Dur-
ing all that time not 8 passenger has been
killed on my train. l ran one engine nine
years, another four and my present one
twelve years. have run miles enough to
travel around the world more than thirty
times, and have never .seeeived
sn injury of any kind myself. This

GOODNESS in times of understanding
have always prided myself on and consia-
cred Indispensable to an engineer, l
have heard and read great deal about
engines acting cranky and balky, and al
times as though aware of the existence of
impending dangers, but | take no stock
in such things. I know there are engi-
neers running to-day who think their en-
gines are little less than human but in
nv opinion the cranky and halky fits of
engines may be traced to the engineers
themselves, for just so sure as an engi-
neer is out of sorts his engine is sure to
appear to him as net working at its best.
At least, such is the result of my observ-
atoms.
az will tell you one of the most curious
freaks of an engine that ever occurred in
my experience with them. l offer no ex-
plantation, for ! never have been able to
solve it half satisfactorily to myself, and
will, therefore, leave you to draw your
own conclusions. 1t was about sixteen
years ago, when l first commenced to run

and somehow from the very STAT every
thing seemed to go wrong. Even the
fireman appeared to act and work differ
emily from usual. We'll, to make mat
tiers worse, we were detained an hour at
the depot, and then the conductor came
and told me that the superintendent WAS
on the train and bound for the other end

Cotton.-In Need of Rain.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SAN DIEGO, TEX, Feb. 5.-We have
started fine cotton gip,. which was
purchased by Mr.. Frank Gueydan, the
head of our largest and most responsible
mercantile house, and is attached to and
IN by the same power that runs the
Team grist mill of Mr.. 81. W. Parkman
The first bale of cotton that has ever been
ginned and baled for market in Duval
county, is on exhibition. 1t is good mid
ding. 1t was clearly ginned and well
packed. This may be called the pioneer
bale. There will soon be many more pre-
pared for shipment in our sylvan burg,
and our county will show in time that
agriculture, as well as grazing are
amongst its attributes. Mr.. Paul
Henry, and Messrs. F. Gueydan, Fabian
Fabela, and few other San Dlegoites
deserve great credit for starting and
encouraging the cotton growing in Duval
county, which they did last year at some
cost and trouble, buying the best seed
they could and distributing it gratuitously
amongst the farmers. 1t is to be hoped
that their philanthropic efforts will be
crowned with success.
We have had for the last two or three
days some cold and rather unpleasant
weather, but would gladly stand more
of il if we Gould get rain, which we are
sadly in need of. We have had a remark
ably open and pleasant winter, and the
range ali through this county is tiue,
though very dry.

THE PLANTERS WIN.
The Cotton Seed OIL Trust Compelled t
Pay Fair Prices.

Ihe cotton seed OIL Trust Compelled to
Pay Fair Prices.
Special to the Gazette
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 27,-The
planters OF the lower Mississippi have
won victory over the American Cotton
Seed Oil Trust, having compelled 1t yes
terday to advance the1price paid for cot
Ion seed to 50 per ton on the river hank
and corresponding figures on tributary
streams, big advance over rates pre-
viouslY prevailing. When it was found
ct the beginning of the present season
that the Trust Company had seemed to
control nearly all the mills in this section
so as to completely monopOlize the mar
ket, the planters recognized that they
were at its mercy. Several plans were
proposed to secure independence, that
the planters should construct cooperative
mills, and that they should form an iron
clad organization, the members of which
would pledge themselves not to sell cot
ton seed to mills of the Trust Company.
All these plans, however, failed for lack
of cooperation, but, the suggestion to
planters that 1t would pay them better to
put their cotton seed back on the farm
rather than sell it to the cOmpcny at the
rate which netted only 75c to 81 on an
acre took root. 1t has been quite evident
since the season began that the planters,
not as an organization but severallY, were
fighting the company by refusing to sell
their seed. The opposition has proved
infinitely greater than the company or
anybody expected. The receipts of cot
ton seed here have fallen off over 40 per
cent, or 100000 sacks. The re
ceipts of meal from interior points
are much less and the export of
oil less than hat for the corresponding
period last year, although more cotton is
coming in. In other words the opposi-
ton of planters has cut down the pro-
duction of the mills 40 per cent. The
company realized the situation and
yesterday advanced the price for the
seed and slightly reduced that for the
meal and cake, which it is to resell to
farmers. The advance in seed has caus-
ed some excitement in the country
around Vicksburg where. much Opposi-
ton to the oil NIL has existed, and
where much of the seed has been held
back for higher prices. 1t is thought
that this advance will bring out the re-
SERVE seed in store.

BLOODY TERRITORY FEUD.

William Rantster Kills Frank Walker and
is Wounded in the Thigh.
Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, Jan. Pin an al
tercation this morning several miles from
here, in the Choctaw nation, William
Banister shot and killed Frank Walker,
and was himself wounded IL the thigh.
Itfeems Walker had rented the farm on
Which Bsnister was living, and this morn
ing was moving in While Banister was NOV
ing cut. Banister had some corn in q crib
and Walker began throwing q load in
on top of it, when Banister came up and
began cursing Walker, and after few
words had passed shot him twice,
MORALLY wounding him. Walker, before
he fell, drew his pistol and fired five shots
ct Banister, one Of which took effect.
Banister then fed, when parties cane to
this city and got warrant for him, which
was placed in the hands of two deputy
marshals, who overhauled the fugitive at
Cottonwood, Cherokee nation, and he is
now in the United States Jail. Both the
men had families and the aff4ir is greatly
deplored in the neighborhoOd where it
occurred.
